Nine Rubies Knitting

Yarns, yarns, yarns!

September 6th, 2006

Yarns, yarns, yarns
We’ve been busy unpacking many new yarns over the last few weeks.  We’ve expanded our product lines to include some wonderful new hand-dyed yarns from Blue Heron and Schaefer. 

They both have unique colorways in beautiful fibers such as beaded rayon and chenille.  They knit up into knockout tops, shawls and scarves. The “Yummy Yarn” award goes to the gorgeous (and super soft) Malabrigo, which we have in blues, greens, purples and a couple of neutrals, too. 

This yarn is great for a warm and toasty scarf or hat.  (We’re already thinking about holiday knitting!) 
Good news from the UPS man! 
The new Rowan yarns for fall (Tapestry, Romance and Little Big Wool) are well supported by the fabulous new Rowan pattern book #40 and two other books.  It’s been flying off the shelves.  Also, the classic Rowan yarn Kidsilk Night now comes in some new glistening colors. For the Artyarns aficionados, we’ve gotten in a new variation on Silk Rhapsody – this one with a subtle gold or silver strand.  It would make a perfect holiday shawl.  Also from Artyarns is the new cashmere.  It’s just the kind of perfect yarn in the wonderful colors that we’ve come to expect from this manufacturer. 

Bouton d’Or’s new yarn Songe is an absolutely stunning shimmery yarn that we got in six beautiful shades ranging from pink to blue to black.  Karabella Gossamer is another great option for a holiday project.  It’s light, airy and elegant. 

Winter lovers will surely enjoy the Baby Alpaca Super Chunky that just came in.  It’s so soft and would be great for a cozy jacket or blanket.  One last thing – a great novelty yarn from Plymouth has come in.  It’s called Electra, and we have it in six great colorways.  

More, more, more
We’ve got some new felting classes scheduled this fall, so we’ve replenished our extensive range of Cascade 220.  For those who prefer Pastaza, we’ve gotten new colors in that, too.  Debbie Bliss continues to amaze us with her sense of color.  We’ve gotten many more colors in Cashmerino Aran.  Many of our clients are in love with Misti Alpaca.  We’ve gotten more colors of the Baby Alpaca Chunky for the shrug that is such a popular pattern here at the store.  Sock lovers will love the variegated Regia silk that came in.  What a comfortable yarn for hot weather.
